Introduction and Aim: MET guideline is a compulsory directive of MCI which has to be implemented in medical education training program in all medical colleges in the country. Idea for research was originated by better university result of last year in which group dynamics, PBL, SDL, group discussion was implemented. The present study was conducted to improve the performance of poor scoring medical students utilizing MET guidelines.
Materials and Methods: 24 Students were selected out of 150 students on the basis of poor score between September to March from 1st year M.B.B.S. batch (2017-2018), T.S.M. Medical College and Hospital, Amausi, Lucknow. They were exposed to MET guidelines like group dynamics, PBL, SDL, group discussion etc. Their performance was observed in successive examinations.
Results: 92% students of study group showed improvement. But desired goal was achieved by 83% students.
Conclusion: Small group teaching and newer methods of teaching are helpful in improving performance (increase percentage of marks) of students.
